How do you know silicon chips don't have an internal experience already? Are you in that "consciousness is magically emergent" camp?


I'm sure they do. It's just not coherent, hence prefacing my comment with bound. It's just random mind dust. I am a believer of a form of panpsychism. And that the hard problem of consciousness is better formulated as the boundary problem, whereby you get a conscious / intelligent being from properly creating boundaries around the consciousness that already exists.

Here's a good video detailing this line of thinking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0YID6XV-PQ
